Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
The last school year was so challenging for all our students. We operated on a hybrid model where the students only attended school every other day and were required to complete schoolwork at home on their "beyond the building" day. Some students were completely distance learning. Everyone struggled with this.
Our kids are now back in school and learning in a new normal that requires them to wear masks at all times inside the building but my diverse group of young people all striving to do the best they can with the materials they have.
Most of our students come from low socioeconomic backgrounds, with limited resources available. My students work really hard and they are excited and eager to learn. I want to help alleviate this.
Our school, built-in 1965, is a Title I school in Nevada, serving sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students, 100% of whom participate in the free breakfast and lunch program. Students are grouped in teams to build relationships with faculty, staff, and peers. This allows them to keep the same core set of teachers who will stay with them for their entire middle school journey.
My Project
This project is important to me because our school is very old and you can tell when you first walk in, the items will help for a more inviting atmosphere for parents, teachers and students to go then back to class to support their education.
The language translators will help translation in my students' home languages to support them during our conversations and phone calls.
Receiving these Language Translator devices will help me to communicate and best support students and families who do not speak English or have limited academic English language skills.
The five pack charger and USB wall charger station will help when parents or students are in need of charging their phone to communicate with their parents. The bedside table lamps will help update our office and give some calming lighting which helps with moods. The Jambo 16-Inch Motion Lamp will be relaxing when parents and families walk into the office to help immediately calm them. The Unique Loom Round Rug, is to help hide the stained carpet under our table. Students that are here to help will enjoy the Monopoly and Uno games when we don't have any tasks for them. The scent diffuser is to help with the smell senses that go into the brain and can help calm their nerves and promote a healthier scent rather than the chemicals from plug ins. The artificial plants are just another way to add some natural vibes to the room.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
